Exhaust Ticking Noise
After I drive my car to full temps. I park..I hear ticking noise coming from rear exhaust. It's pretty damn loud, kind of embarrassing..
Is this common?
Anything I can do about it?
(I was thinking of removing the resonators)

Basically every car has that..
It's usually the oil dripping back into the pan.
Although, it may also be the exhaust crackling/retracting as it had expanded from the high temperatures during driving.
100% common.
Nothing you can do about it.
Removing the resonators will simply add a more throaty sound to it. At idle, it'll be somewhat more audible, and at WOT, it'll sound like hell broke loose! And of course, all of that in a good way!
